This doesn't look like a lot of progress, but trust me, it is. I've been working on this plucker almost every night, and the last few steps have been tedious and time consuming. But they're over. Now to move forward.
This is the plucker plate that will spin inside the pastice barrel and do most of the picking. I had to cut it to size with my jigsaw and then drill seventy-two 3/4 inch holes. That was the tedious part. I went through a whole 3/4 drill bit and had to buy another one before I got them all drilled (apparently no one in this town sharpens dull drill bits). Then I painted it with Rustoleum to ward off rust.
Then I had to attach the featherplate shaft and start pulling the rubber fingers into all the holes. That takes some muscles and I'm still not done.
Lastly I drilled out the holes for all the fingers that are supposed to go into the barrel (50) and pulled the fingers through them. I couldn't load a picture of them. I'm not sure why.
